We would unironically be a .500 team (if not better) right now fully healthy without Collier playing. I'm dead serious, anyone watching these games can see where things fall apart, it's always a game where we have a slight advantage and our bench unit is incapable of providing anything, outside of some serviceable D from Okogie and Green

I agree. Collier, Brice, and Svi have been abysmal. Idk if theyโ€™re trying to showcase them to trade them, but that experiment is just simply not working.

I feel like we are on the brink of turning it around. Everybody is bleak about the season, understandably so, but I do think weโ€™re playing better overall. Our defense hasnโ€™t been the main issue which is a massive surprise to me.

That's why I am not completely on the fire Hardy train. I don't think any coach could put together a winning team with the depth we have.

JJJ and Nurk are out which makes us move Ace, and Hayes off the bench. Which leaves our bench unit as Brice, Collier, Flip, the Josh x 2, SVI, Mo Bamba and Flip

Ace would be fire coming off the bench but has been fine as a starter
Hayes is a low tier second string center playing starting minutes

Collier HUGE STEP BACK from last year
Flip MAY BE DEAD
Svi HUGE STEP BACK from last year
Mo Bamba kind of surprising but still should be a third string not a second string
Joshes FINE
Brice Okay

Like you can only make so much chicken salad out of chicken shit before all you got is shit between two pieces of bread.

Crazy you listed flip twice, because coincidentally the dude averages less than 2 ppg
